Mold for production of a passenger seat
First Claim
1. A mold for production of a passenger seat comprising a frame element constructed of a relatively high density, rigid foam and comprising trim cover attachment means, the mold comprising a first mold half and a second mold half engageable to define a mold cavity, the first mold half adapted to carry the frame element in a manner such that trim cover attachment means embedded in the frame element is adjacent to an interior surface of the first mold half, the first mold half further comprising sealing means disposed on the interior surface thereof at a location relatively peripheral to a position corresponding to the trim cover attachment means embedded in the frame element, said sealing means providing a seal to prevent an ingress of foam into said trim cover attachment means.

17. Apparatus for producing a foamed automobile passenger seat, comprising:
-
a first mold for producing a substantially rigid foam frame element, said first mold having a first mold half and a second mold half which together define a mold cavity, the first mold half adapted for forming at least one groove along a periphery of the rigid foam frame element, and a second mold, having the shape of an automobile seat, for adhering the rigid foam frame element to a resilient foam, the second mold comprising a third mold half and a fourth mold half which together define a seat mold cavity, the third mold adapted to support the frame element to cause automobile seat trim cover attachment means to be adjacent to an interior surface of the third mold half, the third mold half having a ridge disposed at a peripheral portion thereof corresponding to the trim cover attachment means in the frame element, said ridge providing a seal against ingress of liquid foamable polymeric composition into said automobile seat trim cover attachment means.
